Alex, I love this big world thinking. I suggest expanding this to universal thinking. Taking into account the experience people such Eric you can expand this with due regard to the implications.
I feel that any solution should provide an open set of services that can be altered to meet as yet unimagined needs. See the http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AliasPlugin<http://www.tiddlytools.com/#AliasPlugin> and the example; *For example, to define a quick alias for inserting a link to any given subject on www.wikipedia.com, you can write: * *<<alias wikipedia "[[Wikipedia:%0|http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/%0]]";>>* *which allows you to then write: * *<<wikipedia TiddlyWiki>>* *which is processed as if you wrote: * *[[Wikipedia:TiddlyWiki|http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/TiddlyWiki]]* And the example wikipedia, this could be extended to tweet, mailto Another example may be the http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#InstantTimestampPlugin *If you enter {ts} in your tiddler content (without the spaces) it will be replaced with a timestamp when you save the tiddler. Full list of formats: * - * {ts} or {t} -> timestamp* - * {ds} or {d} -> datestamp* - * !ts or !t at start of line -> !!timestamp* - * !ds or !d at start of line -> !!datestamp* Time stamp has the advantage that you enter {ts} and it replaces it with {{ts{9/09/09 10:50}}} that indicates the {ts} has been processed (so it wont do it next time). We could add {tag:tag name} which tags the tiddler with [[tiddler name]] and replaces {tag:tag name} with just [[tag name]] Similarly we could have; {#Tag} {mailto:email address} etc... Using the alias method you could use a simple single Character and a regex but be in a position to turn it off when you don't want it applied to the current (or any) tiddler Content. Regards Tony TonyM If you have not found an easy way to do it with TiddlyWiki, you have missed something. www.tiddlywiki.com On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 02:20, Eric Shulman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > you could have helloth...@nimble_monkey would be the tiddler > > called "HelloThere" belonging to the user nimble_monkey, or > > #id...@nimble_monkey would indicate all tiddlers tagged "ideas" by the > > user nimble_monkey." > > These look like email addresses to me... or, more to the point, email > addresses would be ambiguously parsed as obj...@user tiddler > references instead of u...@system addresses.
